17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. ~ REVELATION 3:17-18

“Because thou sayest…I counsel thee to buy of me…” This is a very rich message to this age. We can become complacent in our satisfaction of the forgiveness of sins and not pursue perfection to the end. We are called for a purpose, not just to make heaven. He is directing us to be equipped with certain attributes that are required for us to execute our calling. Being this is the eagle age, it is clear that being able to see is necessary for our deliverance. The method of our heart being turned is by perfect realization. Knowing who we are and what we are called to, takes away the effect of death, which is the carnal mind.
